Feelin' Hot-Hot Hot! And for a Monday, it was quite busy. Was asked if I wanted a lad to help, and I help him, I agreed, it worked out ok..but still took longer than I thought.
Oh, and was "Dive Bombed" by 3 huge seagulls, protecting their fledglings on the pavement.
Had to use a pouch to stop 'em pecking my nogging! I'm sure I could hear Alfred Hickcock larfing somewhere...

Last to leave the office at 10am due to walk not being thrown in. Said I wouldn't be overrunning. DOM comes out and says he will put me on IPP (dunno what that is but guess it's performance testing). Also said he will keep me sitting in the office until my finish time everyday from now on. I said that will need to apply to everyone or I would raise a grievance. If it's not b&h then what is it. Stressed now, moral at an all time low.

Mail definitely lighter than a usual July. But more than made up for by packets,tracked and recorded items.

umm.. this is summer. What will you do when mail returns to a normal level then, after the holidays and summer lapsing is over, hope it stays at the level of mail you are now getting!? :cuppa

It was busy, I did not wish to go over, told "them" I would do as much as I could by my time. Finished on time, didn't finish delivery as expected, I did what I could in my paid hours.
